first and third
Jul. 29th, 2017 07:02 pmThe fun thing about writing little vignettes is that they may call for a first-person point-of-view who gets to make comments and express attitudes in a way a third-person narrator can't, but. . .
That may not work for a longer work. There's only so many works you can write from the main character's point of view, and I concluded for two of them, I had chosen wrongly, and needed to switch.
Harder than it looks. Attitude paragraphs had to go entirely and have all their info-dump slithered elsewhere. But even in passages where the difference is not obvious, there has to be a reworking.
sigh
